Welcome!

I've set up this blog so that all my friends, relations and colleagues in the world of writing can keep up to speed with what I'm doing - from now on, I'll never have to say sorry for not keeping in touch.

You can find my novels as digital downloads on Apple iTunes, Kobo, Kindle and Nook, and most are available as print paperbacks, too.

Short Story Competition

I hope everyone who reads this blog had a lovely Christmas and will enjoy a peaceful and happy 2012 - let's live in hope, shall we?

What could be a good way to get the new year off to a great start? Maybe winning a short story competition with a cash prize of £200 for the winner and £50 for the runner-up, too? If you could write a story featuring chocolate in some way - eating it, cooking with it, drinking it, plastering it all over yourself or your partner and licking it all off again (I believe some people do this, but I must admit I haven't ever tried it myself), making truffles or Easter eggs out of it, opening a shop selling it, working in a factory making it - lots of possibilities there - please consider entering the Choc Lit competition, which closes on 31 January.
